I'm thinking of becoming a travelling salesman.
What do you think I could sell at the intersection of Highway 61 and Highway 49 in Clarksdale, Mississippi?
Explain your answer?
PS: THIS IS A MUSICAL QUESTION.

Thank you, Muras, you're right! Although it's never been proved that that was THE 'crossroads', the legend lives on. Thanks, everyone!

You could sell YOUR soul, too!
Explanation: Precedence has already been set by Robert Johnson who is supposed to have sold his soul to the devil in exchange for musical genius at that very location.

You might sell your soul to the devil - see below
The junction of Highway 61 and Highway 49 in Clarksdale, Mississippi is designated as the famous crossroads where — according to legend — Robert Johnson supposedly sold his soul to the Devil in exchange for mastery of the blues. However, there is no proof it is the site. Several miles north is another junction where the two highways diverge again; between the junctions the two Highways share the route. It has never been confirmed as the place Johnson meant. If the crossroads in the song was ever anything other than a metaphor, it could have been any intersection in that part of Mississippi, or the world.
- but I wouldn't advise it. There's always a catch with old nick!
